Our Third Battle for Independence

Our Third Battle for Independence: Mark Twain once opined, “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme.” A previous AT article noted that Scottish professor Alexander Tytler developed a similar observation specific to republics: throughout human history, they all follow a particular life cycle. According to his defined cycle, and barring a dramatic change in our nation’s conduct, America is soon destined for collapse. Best-selling author Jonathan Cahn, who wrote “The Harbinger” and a follow-on series of related biblical pattern-repeating books, has highlighted stunning parallels between specific periods in the history of Israel and the current state of the United States. These parallels are both precise in their details and alarming in their implications. Cahn also warns that without a significant change in our collective beliefs and behavior, our nation will soon fall.
